Search San Jose dog turd...
Maybe those who believe ‘public art’ is valuable should start a fund. Then all those who believe as they do can contribute and make it happen without compelling people who do not to foot the bill.

I'd like to see developers hire their young children to make art on the walls.
I see sasquatch was in town.
I went and found the legislation. In the city ordinance we have:
"Public art advisory committee" means a professionally qualified citizen committee recommended by the Oakland arts commission and approved by City Council to oversee quality control of the public art program, its projects, and to recommend to the Cultural Arts Division (CAD) the sites, scope of project, artworks and artists for the public art projects funded through the Public Art Project Account.Only artists "approved" by the politically-connected committee will count. This is pure and simple cronyism.
Art that someone wants to pay for tends to be superior to art which they are forced to pay for .
Exactly
“Artists in Oakland, meanwhile, are fearful that a victory for the firms will be a defeat for culture in a city ...”
I doubt the culture of Oakland has anything to do with art unless one considers third world mob rule “art”.
Figures.
I was in San Francisco last week. While walking the streets, I could only come up with one descriptive word-squalor. Obama’s third world hell hole transition will start in the cities and overwhelm the country. Besides sleeping, squatting and throwing trash wherever they please, America’s ‘entitlement class’ also demands the right to urinate and defecate in public. 19th century Calcutta also comes to mind.
